There is no reason not to turn on keepalives by default.
They take very little bandwidth, and significantly less than
the progress reporting they are replacing. And in the case
that progress reporting is on, we should never need to send
a keepalive anyway, as we will constantly be showing
progress and resetting the keepalive timer.
We do not necessarily know what the client's idea of a
reasonable timeout is, so let's keep this on the low side of
5 seconds. That is high enough that we will always prefer
our normal 1-second progress reports to sending a keepalive
packet, but low enough that no sane client should consider
the connection hung.

When upload-pack has started pack-objects, there may be a quiet
period while pack-objects prepares the pack (i.e., counting objects
and delta compression). Normally we would see (and send to the
client) progress information, but if "--quiet" is in effect,
pack-objects will produce nothing at all until the pack data is
ready. On a large repository, this can take tens of seconds (or even
minutes if the system is loaded or the repository is badly packed).
Clients or intermediate proxies can sometimes give up in this
situation, assuming that the server or connection has hung.
This patch introduces a "keepalive" option; if upload-pack sees no
data from pack-objects for a certain number of seconds, it will send
an empty sideband data packet to let the other side know that we are
still working on it.

Historically, "git status" needed to prefix each output line with '#' so
that the output could be added as comment to the commit message. This
prefix comment has no real purpose when "git status" is ran from the
command-line, and this may distract users from the real content.
Disable this prefix comment by default, and make it re-activable for
users needing backward compatibility with status.displayCommentPrefix.
Obviously, "git commit" ignores status.displayCommentPrefix and keeps the
comment unconditionnaly when writing to COMMIT_EDITMSG (but not when
writing to stdout for an error message or with --dry-run).

If a user is working on master, and has merged in their feature branch, but now
has to "git pull" because master moved, with pull.rebase their feature branch
will be flattened into master.
This is because "git pull" currently does not know about rebase's preserve
merges flag, which would avoid this behavior, as it would instead replay just
the merge commit of the feature branch onto the new master, and not replay each
individual commit in the feature branch.
Add a --rebase=preserve option, which will pass along --preserve-merges to

When initiating an SSL connection without explicitly specifying the

Enable certificate verification by default, using /etc/ssl/certs as
the default path for certificates of certificate authorities. This
path can be overriden by the --smtp-ssl-cert-path command line
option and the sendemail.smtpSSLCertPath configuration variable.

the SSL certificate verification explicitly, which does not trigger

Without "git fetch --prune", remote-tracking branches for a branch
the other side already has removed will stay forever. Some people
want to always run "git fetch --prune".
To accommodate users who want to either prune always or when fetching
from a particular remote, add two new configuration variables
"fetch.prune" and "remote.<name>.prune":
- "fetch.prune" allows to enable prune for all fetch operations.
- "remote.<name>.prune" allows to change the behaviour per remote.
The latter will naturally override the former, and the --[no-]prune
option from the command line will override the configured default.
Since --prune is a potentially destructive operation (Git doesn't
keep reflogs for deleted references yet), we don't want to prune
without users consent, so this configuration will not be on by
default.

Commit adbc0b6b ("cygwin: Use native Win32 API for stat", 30-09-2008)
added a Win32 specific implementation of the stat functions. In order
to handle absolute paths, cygwin mount points and symbolic links, this
implementation may fall back on the standard cygwin l/stat() functions.
Also, the choice of cygwin or Win32 functions is made lazily (by the
first call(s) to l/stat) based on the state of some config variables.
Unfortunately, this "schizophrenic stat" implementation has been the
source of many problems ever since. For example, see commits 7faee6b8,
79748439, 452993c2, 085479e7, b8a97333, 924aaf3e, 05bab3ea and 0117c2f0.

Earlier remote.pushdefault (and per-branch branch.*.pushremote)
were introduced as an additional mechanism to choose what
repository to push into when "git push" did not say it from the
command line, to help people who push to a repository that is
different from where they fetch from. This attempts to finish that
topic by teaching the default mechanism to choose branch in the
remote repository to be updated by such a push.
The 'current', 'matching' and 'nothing' modes (specified by the
push.default configuration variable) extend to such a "triangular"
workflow naturally, but 'upstream' and 'simple' have to be updated.
. 'upstream' is about pushing back to update the branch in the
remote repository that the current branch fetches from and
integrates with, it errors out in a triangular workflow.
. 'simple' is meant to help new people by avoiding mistakes, and
will be the safe default in Git 2.0.
In a non-triangular workflow, it will continue to act as a cross
between 'upstream' and 'current' in that it pushes to the current
branch's @{upstream} only when it is set to the same name as the
current branch (e.g. your 'master' forks from the 'master' from
the central repository).
In a triangular workflow, this series tentatively defines it as
the same as 'current', but we may have to tighten it to avoid
surprises in some way.

When remote.pushdefault or branch.<name>.pushremote is set to a
remote that is different from where you usually fetch from (i.e. a
triangular workflow), master@{u} != origin, and push.default is set
to `upstream` or `simple` would fail with this error:
$ git push
fatal: You are pushing to remote 'origin', which is not the upstream of
your current branch 'master', without telling me what to push
to update which remote branch.
The very name of "upstream" indicates that it is only suitable for
use in central workflows; let us not even attempt to give it a new
meaning in triangular workflows, and error out as before.
However, the `simple` does not have to share this error. It is
poised to be the default for Git 2.0, and we would like it to do
something sensible in triangular workflows.
Redefine "simple" as "safer upstream" for centralized workflow as
before, but work as "current" for triangular workflow.
We may want to make it "safer current", but that is a separate

Most users seem to like having colors enabled, and colors can help
beginners to understand the output of some commands (e.g. notice
immediately the boundary between commits in the output of "git log").
Many tutorials tell the users to set color.ui=auto as a very first step,
which tend to indicate that color.ui=none is not the recommanded value,
hence should not be the default.
These tutorials would benefit from skipping this step and starting the
real Git manipulations earlier. Other beginners do not know about
color.ui=auto, and may not discover it by themselves, hence live with
black&white outputs while they may have preferred colors.
A few people (e.g. color-blind) prefer having no colors, but they can
easily set color.ui=never for this (and googling "disable colors in git"
already tells them how to do so), but this needs not occupy space in
beginner-oriented documentations.
A transition period with Git emitting a warning when color.ui is unset
would be possible, but the discomfort of having the warning seems
superior to the benefit: users may be surprised by the change, but not
harmed by it.
The default value is changed, and the documentation is reworded to
mention "color.ui=false" first, since the primary use of color.ui after
this change is to disable colors, not to enable it.

This new feature allows a rebase to be executed on a dirty worktree or
index. It works by creating a temporary "dangling merge commit" out
of the worktree and index changes (via 'git stash create'), and
automatically applying it after a successful rebase or abort.
rebase stores the SHA-1 hex of the temporary merge commit, along with
the rest of the rebase state, in either
.git/{rebase-merge,rebase-apply}/autostash depending on the kind of
rebase. Since $state_dir is automatically removed at the end of a
successful rebase or abort, so is the autostash.
The advantage of this approach is that we do not affect the normal
stash's reflogs, making the autostash invisible to the end-user. This
means that you can use 'git stash' during a rebase as usual.
When the autostash application results in a conflict, we push
$state_dir/autostash onto the normal stash and remove $state_dir
ending the rebase. The user can inspect the stash, and pop or drop at
any time.
Most significantly, this feature means that a caller like pull (with
pull.rebase set to true) can easily be patched to remove the
require_clean_work_tree restriction.

With uploadpack.allowtipsha1inwant configuration option set, future

A repository may have refs that are only used for its internal
bookkeeping purposes that should not be exposed to the others that
come over the network.
Teach upload-pack to omit some refs from its initial advertisement
by paying attention to the uploadpack.hiderefs multi-valued
configuration variable. Do the same to receive-pack via the
receive.hiderefs variable. As a convenient short-hand, allow using
transfer.hiderefs to set the value to both of these variables.
Any ref that is under the hierarchies listed on the value of these
variable is excluded from responses to requests made by "ls-remote",
"fetch", etc. (for upload-pack) and "push" (for receive-pack).
Because these hidden refs do not count as OUR_REF, an attempt to
fetch objects at the tip of them will be rejected, and because these
refs do not get advertised, "git push :" will not see local branches
that have the same name as them as "matching" ones to be sent.
An attempt to update/delete these hidden refs with an explicit
refspec, e.g. "git push origin :refs/hidden/22", is rejected. This
is not a new restriction. To the pusher, it would appear that there
is no such ref, so its push request will conclude with "Now that I
sent you all the data, it is time for you to update the refs. I saw
that the ref did not exist when I started pushing, and I want the

When we push to update an existing ref, if:
* the object at the tip of the remote is not a commit; or
* the object we are pushing is not a commit,
it won't be correct to suggest to fetch, integrate and push again,
as the old and new objects will not "merge". We should explain that
the push must be forced when there is a non-committish object is
involved in such a case.
If we do not have the current object at the tip of the remote, we do
not even know that object, when fetched, is something that can be
merged. In such a case, suggesting to pull first just like
non-fast-forward case may not be technically correct, but in
practice, most such failures are seen when you try to push your work
to a branch without knowing that somebody else already pushed to
update the same branch since you forked, so "pull first" would work
as a suggestion most of the time. And if the object at the tip is
not a commit, "pull first" will fail, without making any permanent
damage. As a side effect, it also makes the error message the user
will get during the next "push" attempt easier to understand, now
the user is aware that a non-commit object is involved.
In these cases, the current code already rejects such a push on the
client end, but we used the same error and advice messages as the
ones used when rejecting a non-fast-forward push, i.e. pull from
there and integrate before pushing again.
Introduce new rejection reasons and reword the messages
appropriately.

Specifically the fields uid, gid, ctime, ino and dev are set to zero
by JGit. Other implementations, eg. Git in cygwin are allegedly also
somewhat incompatible with Git For Windows and on *nix platforms
the resolution of the timestamps may differ.
Any stat checking by git will then need to check content, which may
be very slow, particularly on Windows. Since mtime and size
is typically enough we should allow the user to tell git to avoid
checking these fields if they are set to zero in the index.
This change introduces a core.checkstat config option where the
the user can select to check all fields (default), or just size

The current `update` command incorporates the superproject's gitlinked
SHA-1 ($sha1) into the submodule HEAD ($subsha1). Depending on the
options you use, it may checkout $sha1, rebase the $subsha1 onto
$sha1, or merge $sha1 into $subsha1. This helps you keep up with
changes in the upstream superproject.
However, it's also useful to stay up to date with changes in the
upstream subproject. Previous workflows for incorporating such
changes include the ungainly:
$ git submodule foreach 'git checkout $(git config --file $toplevel/.gitmodules submodule.$name.branch) && git pull'
With this patch, all of the useful functionality for incorporating
superproject changes can be reused to incorporate upstream subproject
updates. When you specify --remote, the target $sha1 is replaced with
a $sha1 of the submodule's origin/master tracking branch. If you want
to merge a different tracking branch, you can configure the
`submodule.<name>.branch` option in `.gitmodules`. You can override
the `.gitmodules` configuration setting for a particular superproject
by configuring the option in that superproject's default configuration
(using the usual configuration hierarchy, e.g. `.git/config`,
`~/.gitconfig`, etc.).
Previous use of submodule.<name>.branch
=======================================
Because we're adding a new configuration option, it's a good idea to
check if anyone else is already using the option. The foreach-pull
example above was described by Ævar in
commit f030c96d86
Author: Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <avarab@gmail.com>
Date: Fri May 21 16:10:10 2010 +0000
git-submodule foreach: Add $toplevel variable
Gerrit uses the same interpretation for the setting, but because
Gerrit has direct access to the subproject repositories, it updates
the superproject repositories automatically when a subproject changes.
Gerrit also accepts the special value '.', which it expands into the
superproject's branch name.
Although the --remote functionality is using `submodule.<name>.branch`
slightly differently, the effect is the same. The foreach-pull
example uses the option to record the name of the local branch to
checkout before pulls. The tracking branch to be pulled is recorded
in `.git/modules/<name>/config`, which was initialized by the module
clone during `submodule add` or `submodule init`. Because the branch
name stored in `submodule.<name>.branch` was likely the same as the
branch name used during the initial `submodule add`, the same branch
will be pulled in each workflow.
Implementation details
======================
In order to ensure a current tracking branch state, `update --remote`
fetches the submodule's remote repository before calculating the
SHA-1. However, I didn't change the logic guarding the existing fetch:
if test -z "$nofetch"
then
# Run fetch only if $sha1 isn't present or it
# is not reachable from a ref.
(clear_local_git_env; cd "$path" &&
( (rev=$(git rev-list -n 1 $sha1 --not --all 2>/dev/null) &&
test -z "$rev") || git-fetch)) ||
die "$(eval_gettext "Unable to fetch in submodule path '\$path'")"
fi
There will not be a double-fetch, because the new $sha1 determined
after the `--remote` triggered fetch should always exist in the
repository. If it doesn't, it's because some racy process removed it
from the submodule's repository and we *should* be re-fetching.

The motivation for mailmap.blob is to let users of bare
repositories use the mailmap feature, as they would not have
a checkout containing the .mailmap file. We can make it even
easier for them by just looking in HEAD:.mailmap by default.
We can't know for sure that this is where they would keep a
mailmap, of course, but it is the best guess (and it matches
the non-bare behavior, which reads from HEAD:.mailmap in the
working tree). If it's missing, git will silently ignore the
setting.
We do not do the same magic in the non-bare case, because:
1. In the common case, HEAD:.mailmap will be the same as
the .mailmap in the working tree, which is a no-op.
2. In the uncommon case, the user has modified .mailmap
but not yet committed it, and would expect the working
tree version to take precedence.

Teaches git to normalize pathnames read from readdir(3) and all
arguments from the command line into precomposed UTF-8 (assuming
that they come as decomposed UTF-8) to work around issues on Mac OS.
I think there still are other places that need conversion
(e.g. paths that are read from stdin for some commands), but this
should be a good first step in the right direction.
* tb/sanitize-decomposed-utf-8-pathname:
git on Mac OS and precomposed unicode
Teach git to read various information from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ to allow
the user to avoid cluttering $HOME.
* mm/config-xdg:
config: write to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file when appropriate
Let core.attributesfile default to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/attributes
Let core.excludesfile default to $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/ignore
config: read (but not write) from $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/git/config file
Mac OS X mangles file names containing unicode on file systems HFS+,
VFAT or SAMBA. When a file using unicode code points outside ASCII
is created on a HFS+ drive, the file name is converted into
decomposed unicode and written to disk. No conversion is done if
the file name is already decomposed unicode.
Calling open("\xc3\x84", ...) with a precomposed "Ä" yields the same
result as open("\x41\xcc\x88",...) with a decomposed "Ä".
As a consequence, readdir() returns the file names in decomposed
unicode, even if the user expects precomposed unicode. Unlike on
HFS+, Mac OS X stores files on a VFAT drive (e.g. an USB drive) in
precomposed unicode, but readdir() still returns file names in
decomposed unicode. When a git repository is stored on a network
share using SAMBA, file names are send over the wire and written to
disk on the remote system in precomposed unicode, but Mac OS X
readdir() returns decomposed unicode to be compatible with its
behaviour on HFS+ and VFAT.
The unicode decomposition causes many problems:
- The names "git add" and other commands get from the end user may
often be precomposed form (the decomposed form is not easily input
from the keyboard), but when the commands read from the filesystem
to see what it is going to update the index with already is on the
filesystem, readdir() will give decomposed form, which is different.
- Similarly "git log", "git mv" and all other commands that need to
compare pathnames found on the command line (often but not always
precomposed form; a command line input resulting from globbing may
be in decomposed) with pathnames found in the tree objects (should
be precomposed form to be compatible with other systems and for
consistency in general).
- The same for names stored in the index, which should be
precomposed, that may need to be compared with the names read from
readdir().
NFS mounted from Linux is fully transparent and does not suffer from
the above.
As Mac OS X treats precomposed and decomposed file names as equal,
we can
- wrap readdir() on Mac OS X to return the precomposed form, and
- normalize decomposed form given from the command line also to the
precomposed form,
to ensure that all pathnames used in Git are always in the
precomposed form. This behaviour can be requested by setting
"core.precomposedunicode" configuration variable to true.
The code in compat/precomposed_utf8.c implements basically 4 new
functions: precomposed_utf8_opendir(), precomposed_utf8_readdir(),
precomposed_utf8_closedir() and precompose_argv(). The first three
are to wrap opendir(3), readdir(3), and closedir(3) functions.
The argv[] conversion allows to use the TAB filename completion done
by the shell on command line. It tolerates other tools which use
readdir() to feed decomposed file names into git.
When creating a new git repository with "git init" or "git clone",
"core.precomposedunicode" will be set "false".
The user needs to activate this feature manually. She typically
sets core.precomposedunicode to "true" on HFS and VFAT, or file
systems mounted via SAMBA.

To use the feature of core.excludesfile, the user needs:
1. to create such a file,
2. and add configuration variable to point at it.
Instead, we can make this a one-step process by choosing a default value
which points to a filename in the user's $HOME, that is unlikely to
already exist on the system, and only use the presence of the file as a
cue that the user wants to use that feature.
And we use "${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/ignore" as such a
file, in the same directory as the newly added configuration file
("${XDG_CONFIG_HOME:-$HOME/.config/git}/config). The use of this
directory is in line with XDG specification as a location to store

Normally all cells (and in turn columns) share the same width. This
layout mode can waste space because one long item can stretch our all
columns.
With COL_DENSE enabled, column width is calculated indepdendently. All
columns are shrunk to minimum, then it attempts to push cells of the
last row over to the next column with hope that everything still fits
even there's one row less. The process is repeated until the new layout
cannot fit in given width any more, or there's only one row left
(perfect!).
Apparently, this mode consumes more cpu than the old one, but it makes
better use of terminal space. For layouting one or two screens, cpu
usage should not be detectable.
This patch introduces option handling code besides layout modes and

A column option string consists of many token separated by either
a space or a comma. A token belongs to one of three groups:
- enabling: always, never and auto
- layout mode: currently plain (which does not layout at all)
- other future tuning flags
git-column can be used to pipe output to from a command that wants
column layout, but not to mess with its own output code. Simpler output
code can be changed to use column layout code directly.

In asciidoc 7, backticks like `foo` produced a typographic
effect, but did not otherwise affect the syntax. In asciidoc
8, backticks introduce an "inline literal" inside which markup
is not interpreted. To keep compatibility with existing
documents, asciidoc 8 has a "no-inline-literal" attribute to
keep the old behavior. We enabled this so that the
documentation could be built on either version.
It has been several years now, and asciidoc 7 is no longer
in wide use. We can now decide whether or not we want
inline literals on their own merits, which are:
1. The source is much easier to read when the literal
contains punctuation. You can use `master~1` instead
of `master{tilde}1`.
2. They are less error-prone. Because of point (1), we
tend to make mistakes and forget the extra layer of
quoting.
This patch removes the no-inline-literal attribute from the
Makefile and converts every use of backticks in the
documentation to an inline literal (they must be cleaned up,
or the example above would literally show "{tilde}" in the
output).
Problematic sites were found by grepping for '`.*[{\\]' and
examined and fixed manually. The results were then verified
by comparing the output of "html2text" on the set of
generated html pages. Doing so revealed that in addition to
making the source more readable, this patch fixes several
formatting bugs:
- HTML rendering used the ellipsis character instead of
literal "..." in code examples (like "git log A...B")
- some code examples used the right-arrow character
instead of '->' because they failed to quote
- api-config.txt did not quote tilde, and the resulting
HTML contained a bogus snippet like:
<tt><sub></tt> foo <tt></sub>bar</tt>
which caused some parsers to choke and omit whole
sections of the page.
- git-commit.txt confused ``foo`` (backticks inside a
literal) with ``foo'' (matched double-quotes)
- mentions of `A U Thor <author@example.com>` used to
erroneously auto-generate a mailto footnote for
author@example.com
- the description of --word-diff=plain incorrectly showed
the output as "[-removed-] and {added}", not "{+added+}".
- using "prime" notation like:
commit `C` and its replacement `C'`
confused asciidoc into thinking that everything between
the first backtick and the final apostrophe were meant
to be inside matched quotes
- asciidoc got confused by the escaping of some of our
asterisks. In particular,
`credential.\*` and `credential.<url>.\*`
properly escaped the asterisk in the first case, but
literally passed through the backslash in the second
case.

It is too early to start warning loudly about the future default change
in favor of 'simple', since many users use different versions of Git, and
would be harmed if we advised them to explicitely set
'push.default=simple' when using old versions of Git.
Still, we want to document the upcomming change so that:
* Users who may be affected by the change get one more chance to know it
in advance.
* We actually commit to changing the default, and avoid repeating past

When calling "git push" without argument, we want to allow Git to do
something simple to explain and safe. push.default=matching is unsafe
when used to push to shared repositories, and hard to explain to
beginners in some contexts. It is debatable whether 'upstream' or
'current' is the safest or the easiest to explain, so introduce a new
mode called 'simple' that is the intersection of them: push to the
upstream branch, but only if it has the same name remotely. If not, give
an error that suggests the right command to push explicitely to
'upstream' or 'current'.
A question is whether to allow pushing when no upstream is configured. An
argument in favor of allowing the push is that it makes the new mode work
in more cases. On the other hand, refusing to push when no upstream is
configured encourages the user to set the upstream, which will be
beneficial on the next pull. Lacking better argument, we chose to deny
the push, because it will be easier to change in the future if someone
shows us wrong.

Pushing a non-fast-forward update to a remote repository will result in
an error, but the hint text doesn't provide the correct resolution in
every case. Give better resolution advice in three push scenarios:
1) If you push your current branch and it triggers a non-fast-forward
error, you should merge remote changes with 'git pull' before pushing
again.
2) If you push to a shared repository others push to, and your local
tracking branches are not kept up to date, the 'matching refs' default
will generate non-fast-forward errors on outdated branches. If this is
your workflow, the 'matching refs' default is not for you. Consider
setting the 'push.default' configuration variable to 'current' or
'upstream' to ensure only your current branch is pushed.
3) If you explicitly specify a ref that is not your current branch or
push matching branches with ':', you will generate a non-fast-forward
error if any pushed branch tip is out of date. You should checkout the
offending branch and merge remote changes before pushing again.
Teach transport.c to recognize these scenarios and configure push.c
to hint for them. If 'git push's default behavior changes or we
discover more scenarios, extension is easy. Standardize on the
advice API and add three new advice variables, 'pushNonFFCurrent',
'pushNonFFDefault', and 'pushNonFFMatching'. Setting any of these
to 'false' will disable their affiliated advice. Setting
'pushNonFastForward' to false will disable all three, thus preserving the
config option for users who already set it, but guaranteeing new
users won't disable push advice accidentally.

The current wording of the http.proxy documentation suggests that
http_proxy is somehow equivalent to http.proxy. However, while
http.proxy (by the means of curl's CURLOPT_PROXY option) overrides the
proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS protocols, the http_proxy environment
variable is used only for HTTP. But since the docs mention only
http_proxy, a user might expect it to apply to all HTTP-like protocols.
Avoid any such misunderstanding by explicitly mentioning https_proxy and
all_proxy as well.

It can be useful to split your ~/.gitconfig across multiple
files. For example, you might have a "main" file which is
used on many machines, but a small set of per-machine
tweaks. Or you may want to make some of your config public
(e.g., clever aliases) while keeping other data back (e.g.,
your name or other identifying information). Or you may want
to include a number of config options in some subset of your
repos without copying and pasting (e.g., you want to
reference them from the .git/config of participating repos).
This patch introduces an include directive for config files.
It looks like:
[include]
path = /path/to/file
This is syntactically backwards-compatible with existing git
config parsers (i.e., they will see it as another config
entry and ignore it unless you are looking up include.path).
The implementation provides a "git_config_include" callback
which wraps regular config callbacks. Callers can pass it to
git_config_from_file, and it will transparently follow any
include directives, passing all of the discovered options to
the real callback.
Include directives are turned on automatically for "regular"
git config parsing. This includes calls to git_config, as
well as calls to the "git config" program that do not
specify a single file (e.g., using "-f", "--global", etc).
They are not turned on in other cases, including:
1. Parsing of other config-like files, like .gitmodules.
There isn't a real need, and I'd rather be conservative
and avoid unnecessary incompatibility or confusion.
2. Reading single files via "git config". This is for two
reasons:
a. backwards compatibility with scripts looking at
config-like files.
b. inspection of a specific file probably means you
care about just what's in that file, not a general
lookup for "do we have this value anywhere at
all". If that is not the case, the caller can
always specify "--includes".
3. Writing files via "git config"; we want to treat
include.* variables as literal items to be copied (or
modified), and not expand them. So "git config
--unset-all foo.bar" would operate _only_ on
.git/config, not any of its included files (just as it
also does not operate on ~/.gitconfig).

AsciiDoc versions since 5.0.6 treat a double-dash surrounded by spaces
(outside of verbatim environments) as a request to insert an em dash.
Such versions also treat the three-character sequence "\--", when not
followed by another dash, as a request to insert two literal minus
signs. Thus from time to time there have been patches to add
backslashes to AsciiDoc markup to escape double-dashes that are meant
to be represent '--' characters used literally on the command line;
see v1.4.0-rc1~174, Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly,
2006-05-05, for example.
AsciiDoc 6.0.3 (2005-04-20) made life harder by also treating
double-dashes without surrounding whitespace as markup for an em dash,
though only when formatting for backends other than the manpages
(e.g., HTML). Many pages needed to be changed to use a backslash
before the "--" in names of command-line flags like "--add" (see
v0.99.6~37, Update tutorial, 2005-08-30).
AsciiDoc 8.3.0 (2008-11-29) refined the em-dash rule to avoid that
requirement. Double-dashes without surrounding spaces are not
rendered as em dashes any more unless bordered on both sides by
alphanumeric characters. The unescaped markup for option names (e.g.,
"--add") works fine, and many instances of this style have leaked into
Documentation/; git's HTML documentation contains many spurious em
dashes when formatted by an older toolchain. (This patch will not
change that.)
The upshot: "--" as an isolated word and in phrases like "git
web--browse" must be escaped if it is not to be rendered as an em dash
by current asciidoc. Use "\--" to avoid such misformatting in
sentences in which "--" represents a literal double-minus command line
argument that separates options and revs from pathspecs, and use
"{litdd}" in cases where the double-dash is embedded in the command
name. The latter is just for consistency with v1.7.3-rc0~13^2 (Work
around em-dash handling in newer AsciiDoc, 2010-08-23).

Once the cookie file has been created, it can be passed to git with, e.g.
